        They are starting to speak out, as Christians they have to... if not they are denying their faith.

        I imagine there were many White religious leaders who were offended also. I am no Christian leader, but a Christian none the less, and I was deeply disheartened by Gen Sessions' remarks.

        What kind of man can bring himself to smile while defending this policy of taking children away from parents? What kind of soul lives in that man?

        So does the Methodist Church, of which he is a member, the Baptist and Catholic Churches too... this is NOT a black/white issue.https://www.umcjustice.org/news-and-stories/a-shocking-violation-of-the-spirit-of-the-gospel-697 …

        No one agrees with the policy. Cardinal Dolan spoke out against it just today I believe. This particular article was about black religious leaders. I agree this isn’t a black/white thing. It’s a human thing.

        He needs this one: “Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

        That’s such an understated, calm sentence for the horror of Sessions’ excuses.

        So much for turning the other cheek. Religious morality goes out the door when overshadowed by unabashed racism.
